Here is the wish list:
- K2500 Burb or Yukon XL, 8,600# suspension, minimum 9K# tow rating
- GMT800 or 900 body
- No MY 2007 as for some reason it looks like the tow rating was reduced to 7,400# in that year
- Prefer 6.0L with 8.1L as a second choice
- 3.73 rear
- Leather & heated seats
- Blue exterior color with White as a second choice (don't ask why)
- Under 75K miles, preferably in the 40K range.
- Prefer to find a rig in the Mid Atlantic area, but if it is nice enough will get it farther out.


Use:
- Family hauler with solid tow capabilities
- Wife's grocery getter & travel soccer duties

Crew Cab pickup does not have enough cab room.



Background: My brother bought a SOB fru-fru truck to tow his 7,500# travel trailer (with a huge sail area). Despite a 9K# tow rating, the fru-fru truck is more techno-bling than a tow vehicle and he does not feel comfortable towing with it. Last weekend he helped me ferry my travel trailer from the Midwest and was bit by the Burb bug. Now he is borrowing my Burb to haul his travel trailer for a week rather than use his fru-fru truck.

So, I need to find him a *real* truck and get mine back :D
 
Update . . .

No longer on the hunt as he is re-thinking the RV sizing and might down-scale to something with better street manners.
